[Intro – eerie clean chant, then sudden blast]
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land
The day of His wrath is at hand
[Verse 1]
“I will sweep everything from the face of the earth,”
Declares the Lord of hosts in burning words
The great day of the Lord is near — near and coming fast
The sound of it makes mighty men scream and hearts collapse
[Pre-Chorus]
Neither silver nor gold will deliver that day
The fire of His jealousy consumes everything
[Chorus – 260 bpm, relentless double-kick + orchestra]
ON THE DAY OF THE LORD’S WRATH — THE EARTH IS DEVoured!
BY THE FIRE OF HIS JEALOSY — THE WICKED ARE NO MORE!
He stretches out His hand — nations utterly destroyed
The proud are cut off — their corpses block the void!
BLOOD! FIRE! BLACKENED SKIES!
THE DAY OF WRATH HAS COME — THE WHOLE WORLD DIES!
[Verse 2]
Gaza forsaken, Ashkelon a desolation
Ekron uprooted, the seacoast a wasteland nation
Moab like Sodom, Ammon like Gomorrah
Thorns and salt pits forever — the Lord has spoken
[Pre-Chorus 2]
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
And punish those who say in their hearts, “The Lord does nothing”
[Chorus – even faster, lower, more chaotic]
THE DAY OF THE LORD’S SACRIFICE — THE GUESTS ARE CONSECRATED!
THE PRIESTS AND KINGS IN BLACK — ALL SLAUGHTERED, DESCRATED!
Their blood poured out like dust, their flesh like dung
No escape for the wicked — the song of wrath is sung!
TOTAL DESTRUCTION! TOTAL COLLAPSE!
THE DAY OF YAHWEH COMES — NO SECOND CHANCE!
[Bridge – slowest slam ever, 80 bpm, gutturals + choir]
I… will… bring… distress… on… mankind…
They… shall… walk… like… blind… men…
Their… blood… poured… out… like… dust…
Their… flesh… like… dung…
NO ONE CAN SAVE — THE DAY IS HERE!
[Final Chorus – everything explodes, gang + children screaming the warning]
THE GREAT DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR — NEAR AND COMING QUICKLY!
CRY BITTERLY — THE WHOLE EARTH IS BURNED IN HIS JEALOUS ANGER!
THE PROUD ARE SILENCED — THE WICKED UTTERLY CUT OFF!
ONLY THE HUMBLE REMAIN — HIDDEN IN THE DAY OF WRATH!
THE DAY… OF… WRATH… HAS… COME!
THE DAY… OF… WRATH… HAS… COME!
[Outro – one clean voice, fading sirens]
Seek the Lord… all you humble of the land…
Seek righteousness… seek humility…
Perhaps you will be hidden
On the day of the Lord’s wrath.
